Plus Duquette's philosophy that if some is good, more is better makes a perfect fit.

An obsessive attention to detail - no surfaces are left unembellished.Here a chanteuse sings in the "Light" window.

All the windows have a natural element theme:

Light - Air - Water - Fire - EarthAnd monkeys are EVERYWHERE! Here in top hat and tails...Here a picture from Duquette's house in LA, "Dawnridge".The "Air" window inspired as much of Duquette's decorations were, by the East.With Duquette it's hard to know what to look at first. His love for highly layered surfaces were inspired by global cultures and incorporated spectacular antiques. The multi-faux finishes reflect Duquette's love of exotic over-the-top decorating.

Tony Duquette makes Roccoco look like minimalism...in a good way! How exciting..might have to have this book too. Some people just take take life by the teeth and say why not? Alot! Truly inspiring.WOW, WOW, WOW! All those monkeys.. Thanks. And Happiest of New Years to you.All best, Jan

Hello Caroll ! How are you on this last day 2007, agent Caroll ?I looked at your blog these last days and I've admired your "vitrines "especially the one with the man and his animal attributes ! at least a realistic man !HAPPY NEW YEAR!M.

A wonderful way to start the new year! (Yes, I know I'm late). Magnificent windows and phenomenal shots of Duquette's own house. Curious choice of animal for the Air window.....the animal least likely to be airbound: elephant!
